In July 1992, the New York State Court of Appeals dismissed the charges against them, stating that the inclusion of women’s breasts under “private or intimate parts of her body” created a clear, gender-based classification that was discriminatory. This landmark decision greatly expanded the women’s right to go topless, setting a precedent that allowed women in New York State to be topless in public under the same conditions as men.
After a six-year legal battle, on July 7, 1992, New York’s highest court reversed the law, ruling it unconstitutional. Since then women have the right to go topfree ANYWHERE in NY that men can. #topfree #topfreeequality #womensequality 👇
